In order to determine a more accurate prevalence of post-traumatic spinal cord cysts (PTSCC) in spinal cord injured (SCI) patients, we retrospectively reviewed magnetic resonance scans from symptomatic imaging and asymptomatic SCI patients. We found the incidence of PTSCC to be 51% in our patient population. The only symptom that correlated to the presence of a cyst was spasticity. The cyst develops at the site of injury and appears to be a common sequela of SCI. We believe that conservative treatment is indicated in most patients with a PTSCC.
为了确定脊髓损伤（SCI）患者创伤后脊髓囊肿（PTSCC）更准确的患病率，我们回顾性分析了有症状影像学检查的脊髓损伤患者和无症状脊髓损伤患者的磁共振扫描结果。我们发现，在我们的患者群体中，PTSCC的发生率为51%。与囊肿存在相关的唯一症状是痉挛。囊肿在损伤部位形成，似乎是脊髓损伤的常见后遗症。我们认为，大多数PTSCC患者适合保守治疗。
